Our City Charter.

We have already tried to make our
people familiar with the new charter as
drawn by Judge ellis for the Council
and proposed to the Legislature. There
Is yet time, and we hope some amend
ments viii be offered which viii make
the instrument an excellent one. But
these suggestions have already been
made and our object in referring again TO
the subject is a desire to keep the mat
ter before those most interested and to
set Mr.. Hind right before his constituents
on most important point.
TALLAHASSEE, May 90.
Editor Of che PtIltStkd NetCs.
Your usually accurate reporter is little
off in the following item published in
The NEWS of the 10th: The Paiatka
Charter Bill which passed the Senate
without amendment hangs fire in the
House on an amendment offered by Mr..
Hind to increase the salary of the mayor
from $25 to $50 per month" The bill is
reported favorably from the committee
and when reached on the calendar will
doubtless pass without any opposition.
Not yet having been read on its second
reading, it is obvious that have had no
opportunity to offer amendments.
Yours respectfully,
THoS. HIND.

We would like to have it universally
understood that the rooms of the Board
of Trade do not belong to the members
of that organization, but to the city-to
all doing business with us-to all who
wish to learn anything of our work, our
prospects or our hopes. Our visitors are
urged to make use of these rooms for
rest or recreation as well as to acquire
information in regard to our city, sec
ton or State. The tables hold papers
which are heartily at the service of all
gentlemen in the city, and there will
often be exhibited specimens of our boz
tanical or horticultural products which
might excite the attention and admira-
ton of ladies. The Board of Trade seeks
to advance no private interests except as
these are involved in the general good of
the whole, and all are invited to- call, in
vestigate and exchange views.

Our Driveway.

On yesterday committee of the Board
of Trade began the work of making a
driveway which will be completed before
the winter season has again filed the
town with visitors. We can make for
ourselves one of the finest drives in the
South, and Pdidtka nerer does things by
hdlres. The roadbed will be first-class-
made of Florida stone-it will be broad
and well shaded-will skirt the river for
n mile, pass out by the waterworks and
in full view of the romantic ravines at
the head of the White Water and thence
will skirt'the crest of the Heights, afford
ing full view of the city and bay, and
will return to. the river down Lemon
street.
The owners of property along this
route are especially interested and should
contribute literally towards the expense
of the work. 1t will place them imme-
diateiy ia torn, and draw to their doors
the best class of both visitors and citi-
zens. All of us will contribute and the
city must do it's part, but we are glad to
see that those nearest interested. because
holding property directly on the route
proposed, are already subscribing hber-
ally and will do more in the near fu-
ture.
This driveway viii be another long
step along the path Palatka must travel
in the future. 1t will be the beginning
of the good work which must never
n L,
it viii be an earnest which the eye of
the world will appreciate at its true value,
that our city must ever go forward-not
backwarti-''downt the ringing grooves OF
change"

Dr. Schaffrauek continues the record
of his valuable experiments IN the cul-
ture of our flowers and fruits, and to-
day transplants to our columns some of
the more precious products which the
study of passing events natures in the
heart of students when there is none of
the frost of malice or the blight of envy
to interfere with the goodly growth of
the tree of wisdom. In the busy life of
our race the still small voice of the
Thoughtful observer is too often disre-
garded even when it carries the very ac
cents in which the Master of all impress
ed His precepts of duty and His message
of love on the attention of more
thoughtful age.

moved to make the nomination of Mr..
Pasco unanimous by acciamation- The
wild outburst of applause from the ex-
cited assenblage which packed every
foot of available space i'm the hall, that
greeted the proposition of Senator NAL
lory and carried his motion, was enough
to make all the Democrats who heard 1t
feel good until the next State election.
Several genuine Rebel yells" were
mixed up in the general conglomeration
of sounds, and the number of sore
threats prevailing in Tallahassee
next day, mot to mention sore heads
was almost beyond computation.
Among the many interesting incidents
of the great event, was the enthusiastic
devotion of the House pages to the cause
of the Speaker. Master Pat McGriff be-
ing the very first person to reach Mr..
Pasco's room and congratulate him, and
Master Walter Seay being the second.
these lively and faithful young officials
received elegant and substantial recog-
milton of their devotion from the FORUM

The Reason Why.
Daytona Messenger.

As the steamer Clara left the wharf
last Wednesday morning to return To
Daytona, "A broom was hoisted To the
head of the flagstaff in token of the
clean sweep" the Halifax River boats
had made of the Indian River boats in
the regatta. And then she .'crowed" till
her whistle was hoarse. Well, they
ought To crow. We are glad they could
crow. 1t is the first chance they have
had to do 80 in sixteen years. Come and
try it again, jolly sailors of the the Hall

that it was the first time in sixteen
years" that our boats had been down
there. The Halifax never, as least
quite seldom. gets left.

Apparently the Railroad Commission
bill is suffering so much amendment in
the State Senate that its own father
will not know it. The changes are in the
direction of a modification of those fea-
lures which tend to treat the railroads
as pubic enemies. A Board of Revision
is proposed, apparently to serve as a
higher court than the Board of Railroad
diction. If the measure passes through
this Legislature it will be in a more rea-
sonable shape than the bill introduced by
Senator McKinne.

THE NOMINATION OF PASCO.
The hall of the House of Representa-
| tives was crowded to its utmost capacity
last night at the caucus, members, citi-
| zens and strangers alike anticipating a
sensation. After the calling of the roll,
| which foreboded some extraordinary
event, Senator J. B. Wall addressed the
| Chair in a few brief but eloquent re-
marks. rehearsing the prominent events
| of the Senatorial controversy from the
beginning. and eulogiZed the action of
the two chief contestants who had vol
unfairly decided to withdraw from
the contest, and closed by eX-
horting all the members of the
caucus to forget that they have been

coed at once to reach an agreement and

Gen. William Miller followed Senator
Wall, and on behalf of the supporters OF
Gov. Perry, accepted the olive branch SC
periodically rendered, and, urging har-
mony and unanimity of action on the
part of members of the caucus, in view
of the impending danger of an adjourn

Wine Adulteration.

In the recent volume of consular reports
published by the Government at Washing
ton mention is made from Switzerland of
the extensive wine adulteration carried on
in that country. We quote the following:
"a recent writer on the question, mer-
chant in the wine traffic in Zurich, says that
even in this unsophisticated land of inno-
cent-looking vineyards the grape takes the
smallest part in the manufacture of wines.
He makes the striking statement that the
annual importation Of dried raisins to
Switzerland reaches 10, 900 quintaux, while
only 500 quintaux are used by confection-
ers and in households, the remainder being
made into wine. This artificial wine is in
great part mixed with the common red
product Of the southern French wines or
with the acid native white wine. 1t is
further estimated that IL, 100000 francs
worth of this manufactured wine is sold
annually in Switzerland, of which 5,0O0,-
600 francs worth come from France, the
balance being prepared here. The writer
asserts that it is impossible by means of
any analysis to distinguish the manufact-
ured from the natural wines. For some
years the prevalence of intemperance, re-
sulting, it is believed, from the free use,
cheap production, and adulteration of al
coholic spirits, has been observed by the
thoughtful citizens of this country. An
inquiry instituted by the Government dis
closed the fact that there were consumed
annually 100000 hectolitres, or about ten
litres Of alcoholic liquors for each inhabi-
fantn

The Liquor Law Of Switzerland.

A volume of consular reports recently
published in Washington gives an account
of the liquor law lately adopted by popu-
lar vote in Switzerland, which says:
The absolute control over the manu-
facture and rectifcation of alcoholic spirits
Is vested in the Confederation, with indem-
nifty to distillers. This proposition to give
the Confederation this monopoly of max
ing and selling all alcoholic spirits natu-
rally has provoked very general and
warm discussion, especially on the part of
the public press. In this [Berne canton,
where there exists q very large distillery
interest, the opposition was vigorous. MANY
church papers opposedit on moral grounds:
that the Government should not make itself
party in traffic SO injurious to the peo-
pie, and that If it be found necessary to
restrict the sale of spirituous liquors, it
should be done by the imposition of higher
taxes, and that the portion assigned to the
cantons to be used in measures to repress
the abuse of alcohol is recognition in q
most distinct form of the baleful traffic,
But the result of the popular vote shows
that the law was most favorably considered
by the people, receiving, as it did, almost
two thirds OF the vote cast, and it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted by its friends that no pos
slble harm and much good will result. The
dlstlllers are required to sell their product
t. the Government, and to no one else.
lie Government will then resell to the
coasumer-that is, the Government is to
have monopoly Of the entire retail trade
